Tuesday - off - it was storming in the morning so I didn't ride my bike to campus.  I had really intended to do 45 minutes of yoga when I got home from campus, but it completely slipped my mind until after dinner and then I was full and had to finish prepping a class.... 

I've been really enjoying riding my bike most days and feel like it adds some nice light cross training (I go pretty slowly so I don't get too sweaty on my way to teach).  What's your favorite cross training activity?

  1. I need to get back to commuting to work. I have a pretty big hill to get up while carrying laptop,clothes, etc so it makes me sweat though.

    right now my favorite xtraining activities are walking the dogs and swimming. But swimming is inconvenient b/c i have to travel to do it, so I don't end up going as often as i'd like

  2. My main cross training activity is yoga. Also, walking the dogs. I would like to get back into strength training - maybe after obedience school ends. The days are just too short!

  3. So nice you can commute to work on bike. I swim 2-3x/week, which I love. I also will spin on my bike or bike trainer 1-2x/week for a 1/2 hr. to an hour. Both help keep the running muscles loose, I think.
